Necrotizing soft-tissue infection (NSTI) can develop from a contiguous ulcer or infection, hematogenous spread, or after trauma. Consider NSTI in patients with characteristic findings or pain out of proportion to clinical findings, particularly patients with diabetes or other risk factors.

Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) are generally severe and rapidly progressive and accompanied by sepsis, multisystem organ failure and often death. Rapid recognition and early surgical intervention form the mainstay of management of NSTIs.

Necrotizing soft tissue infection develops when the bacteria enters the body, usually through a minor cut or scrape. The bacteria begin to grow and release harmful substances (toxins) that kill tissue and affect blood flow to the area.
